System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Winter is getting cooler.

Dong Yu also resolved the discord within the Xiliang army just before winter arrived completely.

After Hu Zhen's death, it was impossible for his followers to cause any more trouble.

Without Hu Zhen to rely on, these soldiers could only become obedient children.

I never saw them training when the weather was cool, but when it was freezing cold, they started training one after another.

It's just like the saying that a dog relies on the power of its master.

The Dong family’s next move was naturally to sell the horses.

The weather is getting colder, but the consumption of fodder is astronomical.

The horses must be sold as soon as possible in exchange for the more needed food.

Prime Minister's Mansion

During this period, Dong Zhuo also began to learn to review state affairs.

One was to help Li Ru share the burden, and the other was to help his son make another effort.

The son handled the internal problems of Xiliang, leaving no second voice in the army.

Dong Zhuo naturally had to show off so that his son would not think that he was a burden as a father.

"Oh, this is not a job for humans."

Dong Zhuo yawned and threw the bamboo slips aside.

Li Ru on the side sighed. What do you mean it’s not a job for human beings?

Hasn't this always been my job?

So I'm really a beast of burden?

"Father-in-law, it's time for you to take care of some government affairs."

Li Ru put down the memorial he had processed and spoke seriously to Dong Zhuo.

"Oh, stop wasting time. I haven't listened to any music in these three hours."

Dong Zhuo said impatiently.

"If you're tired, just put it down and take a break. It's a good combination of work and rest."

Dong Yu walked over and spoke.

"Hey, my son is here?"

"Listen, my son said it so well, and then look at you, a son-in-law is not as considerate as a son."

Dong Zhuo grinned and praised his beloved son, then teased Li Ru with an impatient look on his face.

"Ah, yes, yes."

Li Ru responded in a sarcastic tone.

"I have good news for you."

"After all my efforts, four of my wives and concubines are already pregnant."

Dong Yu sat down aside and said to Dong Zhuo with a smile.

"real!"

“That’s great, haha!”

"which one?"

"Is the princess pregnant?"

Dong Zhuo bent over his desk and asked with a look of surprise.

"Yes, Yunqi is indeed pregnant, and so are Zhaoji, Fengyu, and Yinlan."

Dong Yu nodded.

Since that battle, Dong Yu has been busy with military affairs during the day and has been working hard at night.

Poor sister Cicada still didn't get what she wanted.

Instead, Liu Mu, Feng Yu and Yin Lan reacted one after another.

"That's fine. I don't care about others, but I must have a legal wife."

Dong Zhuo only had eyes for his wife Liu Mu, and he didn't care about anyone else.

It’s not Dong Zhuo’s fault. These days, apart from the legal wife, the rest are more like tools for reproduction and sexual gratification, to put it bluntly.

Only Dong Yu was not particularly partial and liked everyone very much.

"Zihe, the matter of the horses has been contacted."

"Liu Jingsheng and Yuan Gonglu have both agreed to purchase the war horses."

"Especially Yuan Gonglu, who actually asked for 7,000 war horses."

"Liu Jingsheng wants three thousand horses."

Li Ru looked at Dong Yu with a smile and began to talk about the progress of the transaction.

"Oh?"

"Can Yuan Shu afford it?"

"That's an astronomical figure."

Dong Yu looked at Li Ru in surprise. He didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so wealthy.

Based on the market price of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per warhorse, the amount of this transaction has exceeded 100 million yuan.

And what they want this time is not money, but food.

Converted into grain, it amounted to millions of stones of food, enough for the development of their Xiliang army for several years or even ten years.

"Hey, Zihe, are you underestimating the Yuan family's background?"

Li Ru smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The Yuan family is wealthy and powerful. Others may not be able to come up with millions of stones of grain and fodder, but the Yuan family can do it.

Although it would be painful, Yuan Shu owned the wealthy Yuzhou and would be able to recover in a few years.

The most important thing is that Yuzhou is located in the heart of the Central Plains, with flat terrain. After possessing these war horses, its strength will inevitably increase greatly.
